Ten Books I can’t get enough of in 2012

I’ve been asked by one of my lovely blog friends for a list of books that I’ve read (and recommend) so far this year. Well, I aim to please – so here’s ten of my favorite reads of 2012. I’m sure this list will continue to expand and grow with all the terrific books coming out the second half of the year.

(Please note some of the books aren’t new releases, they’re just books I’ve read since January and adore! Also, they’re listed in no particular order.)

I know I raved about WITHER in my best books of 2011 and FEVER did not disappoint. It’s amazing. And I’m not just saying that because she’s my agent sister. I can’t WAIT to get my grubby little hands on SEVER, the final book in the Chemical Garden Trilogy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Again, this was something I was worried might not be my thing – but I was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I devoured it in one sitting and am anxiously awaiting the next book. Get yourself a copy of this and be amazed by the excellently told story of Cinder.

I just finished this book two days ago and I love it. The ending will make you scream for book three. Thank goodness there’s a continuation because I’m not ready to let go of these characters just yet. If you haven’t read the first book HOURGLASS, do so immediately!!!

I can’t even begin to describe how awesome this was, if you haven’t gotten a copy yet – drop everything you’re doing and run to your local bookstore. Lissa is another one of my agent sisters, but I’d devour it even if she wasn’t. (What can I say? My agent has fabulous taste :)) If you liked the HUNGER GAMES, you’ll love it. SO GOOD.

This is a book GoodReads recommended I try and I’m super glad I did. It’s one of the best mythology retellings I’ve read. It’s fresh and clever and I could go one for days. LOVED IT.

That was hard picking just ten! There are soooooo many other great books I’ve read recently. (One of them being UNRAVELING by Elizabeth Norris, and INSURGENT by Veronica Roth.)

Hmmm. It’s almost as if you broke into my house, rifled through my bookcase and wrote this post. Were you the one who finished all th orange juice and put the empty carton back in the fridge?
Anyway, I just finished the Wake trilogy and Unraveling is next on my list to read after I heard Liz speak at a signing. I’m adding Everneath to my list. Also, you might like Wings by Aprilynne Pike and The Fault in Our Stars if you haven’t already read them.

I love that we love the same books! And I started reading The Fault In Our Stars and got sidetracked once Timepiece came out. I’m for sure going to finish it this weekend and I’ll add Wings to my list! YAY!

So many wonderful books 😀 I agree with you on the ones I read, and I´m going to have get my hands on the ones you mentioned but I didn´t manage to read yet.
A lot of people told me I really should dive into UNDER THE NEVER SKY, I have it on my Kindle but haven´t started yet…Thanks for sharing!

Elodie, YOU MUST READ IT RIGHT THIS SECOND! Omg I think you’re really going to love this one, I know how much you liked DIVERGENT and I think this book is on equal ground. Also, I reread it three times back-toback-to-back it’s THAT good. Okay, I’ll shush now 🙂 Let me know what you think!
